A pdf file can either be tagged or not; however, tags is this context are not the tags in and html or xml context. Chapter 13 of the itext book: http://itextpdf.com/book/chapter.php?id=13 on page 423 explains what a tagged pdf file is. > > Please confirm my understanding. > > I have tried using PDFReader class which helps me get entire content of > pdf but I am not able to find out which is the heading , title, table in > the pdf content.

I don't know how to do this without a tagged pdf. With a tagged pdf, TaggedPdfReaderTool works; however, there's no formatting information (no style sheet to specify exactly where the xml elements are to appear on the page); hence, you can see how it would look in a web browser. I'm trying to figure out how to extract this formatting information now. > > Thanks in advance > > Regards, > > Neha > HTH. -regards, Larry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
